Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and cardiac rhythm change over time in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Emergency Medicine Journal

Background Whether and how bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) modifies the cardiac rhythm after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) over time remains unclear. The first documented cardiac rhythm was compared between patients who received bystander CPR and those who did not, using a 1:2 propensity score-matched analysis.

The Technologically Dependent Child in the ED

Pediatric Emergency Playbook

The Huber needle is not a resuscitative line. The main thing for us is to suspect it, detect it, control it, and if the child arrests, to do vigorous CPR to mechanically disrupt the bubbles. Vascular Devices: assume the line is not functional, and use another to resuscitate, especially in port-a-caths. Tracheostomy in children.
